Dipl.-Biochem. Benjamin König
Originally from Berlin, Benni studied Biochemistry at the Freie Universität. In his diploma thesis in the AG Freund at the FU Berlin, he used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to knock-out splicing factors in mammalian cancer cell lines. 2015 Benni joined the AG Stauber to study the role of ion transport in fundamental cell biological processes.
